Idaho National Laboratory low-energy electrochemical process could eliminate need for steam cracking of hydrocarbons

Green Car Congress

Ethylene is one of the largest building blocks in the petrochemical industry. Ethylene production is energy-intensive and uses steam-cracking—the most energy-consuming single process in chemical industry. Typically the steam cracking of ethane has a conversion rate of 70%, with ethylene yields of about 50%. Ding et al.
